Philippians 3

¹ So keep being full of joy in the Lord, my family! I do not mind writing the same things to you again. It keeps you safe.

⁴ Still, if someone thinks they have reasons to trust their Jewish roots, I have more reasons than they do.

⁹ I want to be found in Him. Not with any right standing that comes from following Jewish rules. I want the right standing that comes through trusting Jesus. God counts me as His when I trust.

¹² I am not saying I have it yet. I am not saying I finished. But I keep chasing it! I want to grab what Jesus grabbed me for.

¹⁷ Brothers and sisters, copy me! Watch how we live and do the same.
